Combine medical expertise with professional care

Pharmacists have a unique opportunity to serve patients by carefully distributing medication, avoiding dangerous drug interactions and side effects. Strong organizational and interpersonal skills, as well as comprehension of the human body and medicine, mark the successful pharmacist.

PCC’s pre-pharmacy program effectively trains students to enter pharmacy graduate schools as knowledgeable, articulate, capable individuals. An emphasis on science and mathematics, combined with liberal arts training in subjects such as English, communication, history, and Bible ensures that graduates have both technical knowledge and the practical skills necessary to apply their knowledge in many situations. Since pharmacists often also have managerial responsibilities, economics classes help prepare students for the business aspects of operating a pharmacy.

The biblical foundation of the program, both in Bible classes and in every class at PCC, is key to training students who will be faithful to God’s Word when they enter their professions. Pharmacists with a strong code of ethics, high moral standards, and a compassionate heart for patients are poised to make a positive difference in today’s society.
